Irish Golfer Podcast Match Play Media

On today's mini edition of the podcast, former Irish Close champion Quentin Carew of Castleknock Golf Club joins Ronan from the hotel lobby of the Radisson in Sligo ahead of the Flogas Irish Men's Amateur Open Championship. Carew brushed off some rust at the Munster Strokeplay and although he prefers parkland he is starting to love links golf and he hopes he can put it all together this week.

Joining Ronan on this weeks mini podcast is Roscommon golfer Allan Hill who previews the Flogas Men’s Irish Amateur Open and talks about his maiden senior win in France and how he manages a persistent wrist injury.

On this week's 'lighthearted' edition of the podcast we revel in Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry's Zurich Classic win and discuss how an event that didn't seem too serious was actually a huge win for Shane and his future on the PGA Tour. It was another good week for the other Irish on tour while a new iGolf scheme is set to take Irish golf by storm

On a special edition of the podcast. Ronan sits down with Rob Brazill who has turned professional for this week's Sunshine Tour Qualifying School as he chases his dreams. The Naas man feels like he has been given a second chance at golf and will be taking nothing for granted.

This week on the eve of the 2024 Masters Peter dials in from the Press centre at Augusta National and we are also joined by special guest Gary Murphy, a former European Tour pro and Augusta State University student to discuss all things Masters. Is this to be Rory McIlroy's year? Does Shane Lowry have all the tools to be Ireland's first Green Jacket winner? Is the weather going to wreak havoc on day one? Could we see a debutant top the leaderboard for the first time since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Is Jon Rahm the most under-the-radar defending champion in years? And who do we have our money on as the 'tradition unlike any other' gets underway?

In a special edition of the podcast, we chat to Stuart Grehan on the continuous battle to play professional golf. Grehan’s playing career is on a year by year basis but a couple of pre season wins in Spain have him full of confidence.
